Proud to be God-Free

Yeah, I hate all that. If you really want to be helpful, you should be donating to relief funds and all that. I wonder how many of these people go around saying that they’ll pray for these people and then don’t actually do it.

Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it’s not true. That’s like saying “Calculus doesn’t make any sense, therefore I don’t believe it exists” (just an example. I’m actually pretty decent at calculus). Where is the logic?

Also, you’re citing the laws of conservation of mass when you say that “material cant be created.” However, this isn’t entirely true. Virtual particles, which are basically disturbances in quantum fields, can produce real particles. Here’s an article from Scientific American on just such a topic.

Also, while there’s not a definitive explanation of why the Big Bang happened, we do know that it did happen. We can trace this through methods such as observing Cosmic Background Radiation. Also, we know that the universe is expanding, via Hubble’s Law, and the 2011 Nobel Prize for physics went to a team of scientists who found that the rate at which the universe is expanding is accelerating. If you trace this backwards, you arrive at a point some 13.7 billion years ago at which the universe was contracted to a single point. After that point, the universe quickly expanded, and over time stars were born, they formed galaxies, supernovaed, and planets were formed.

While I do know a bit about cosmology, I’m by no means an expert. If you actually want to understand it and not just put your fingers in your ears and hum loudly, then I suggest you start with the Wikipedia article on the theory itself. If you’re a conspiracy theorist and think that Wikipedia is full of lies and deceit, there are also over a hundred links at the bottom of the article to reputable publications that you can browse at your leisure.

The bottom line is, while we don’t entirely understand things like “what happened before the big bang” or “why it happened,” the consensus is by no means “We think one day there was nothing and then it exploded, but we don’t know anything else. Take that, Christians!” In fact, the simple fact that we don’t know yet is really exciting to me. I hope one day to figure it all out and really discover these deep mysteries of the universe.

However, if you want to think that God was responsible for the Big Bang, I’m not going to stop you. Believe whatever you want. However, if you simply believe that God caused the Big Bang and then did nothing for about 13 billion years until we came along, then you might want to re-examine your faith.

Yeah, but it shows that you don’t care enough about how intelligent you sound to actually spell out the word. Now, if you’d like to have a discussion like a grownup instead of silly insults, I’d be delighted to converse with you. However, for your own sake, you should stop making baseless accusations. It makes you look extremely foolish.

Also, if your time is really “too precious to be wasted” on my blog, then why are you even bothering to try to insult me in the first place. It’s obviously just backfiring on you.

u insult other people by critising other people’s belief and u do blasphemy.

Criticizing something is not the same as insulting it. Criticizing someone’s belief is not even remotely the same thing as insulting the person who believes in it. I’m free to say whatever I want on my blog, but for the sake of decency, I try to remain respectful at all times, however there are people like you who will get offended by people who don’t agree with them. Also, I find it funny that you accuse me of blasphemy as if that’s actually a serious accusation. Sure, questioning god and making jokes about religion might be blasphemy. So what? I don’t believe that God or Allah or Yahweh or Zeus or Odin or Amun-Ra or Vishnu exist so I don’t really care if I blaspheme against them. In fact, this gives me the freedom to say what I like about these deities.

so there is no reason for me to discuss with u.

How about we have a discussion about why you’re so offended by my blog. To be honest, nobody’s forcing you to come on my blog and read anything. What’s funny is that this is one of the tamer atheism blogs on here. If you went to a lot of the other ones, especially about a year ago, you’d come across far worse things than anything I’ve said.

but if u need my attention, u’ll get it. u lonely atheist.

Is there any particular reason you can’t type out the word “you” properly? Because I’m sure the only people who use “u” as a phonetic abbreviation nowadays are either under 13 or over 40, so to me you come across as either a silly child or a foolish adult. In the latter case, you should really know better than to think that just because someone disagrees with you that they’re insulting you.

Either way, the word “u’ll” made me laugh, I must say. I didn’t make that post because I was so desperate for your sweet company, Anon. I made it because I thought it was hilarious that you hide behind the cloak of anonymity to throw insults at me, yet when I present you with the offer of a civil discourse, you turn tail and flee. I guess all you’re capable of is petty jibes and fallacious insults.

I post religious jokes and arguments. Clearly you have some low standards if you think what I post is offensive. I never claimed to hate God or Jesus, although I do think the god of the bible is kind of an asshole and a bit of a hypocrite.

“or do u feel a need to drive people crazy with ur ani-god paroles??” I seriously doubt that I’m driving anyone crazy just posting things here on my blog. Nobody’s forcing you to read anything that I post. If you’d like to enter into an intellectual discussion, then let’s do so, however if you’re just going to insult me because you don’t agree with me, then there’s really no need to continue this charade.
